About Javelina

Javelina is a restaurant that offers delicious food, according to multiple visitors. The chips and salsa, as well as the sour cream and steak enchiladas, have received specific praise. The quesadillas are also popular, as reported by a frequent delivery customer. The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Visitors have enjoyed the chips and salsa right when they arrive, describing the salsa as very good and chunky, which holds well on the chip. The queso sampler is considered a must and super yummy. The steak and sour cream enchiladas are described as very heavy but very good, with recommendations to share them. Some guests mentioned that the mole enchiladas and taco salad with steak are also pretty solid options. Service has been noted as very kind, even during busy times, though it can be loud, making conversation a bit difficult.

There are vegan options available, such as zucchini tacos without cheese, which are highly recommended and very good. Veggie Fajitas are also offered, but it’s advised to ask if they are vegan. While some guests wish there were more vegan choices, it remains a good spot for groups with both vegan and non-vegan diners.

The bar experience varies; on Fridays, the food and drinks are great, and bartenders are very attentive, making for a positive visit. However, on Sundays, the experience is not as good, with drinks being watered down and bartenders seeming less friendly. Due to these differences, some suggest returning only on Fridays. Despite minor issues, Javelina continues to attract repeat customers for its tasty meals, friendly atmosphere, and attentive service.
